New Dragon Quest game draws inspiration from Minecraft

Square Enix have announced a new Dragon Quest game, Dragon Quest: Builders, an offshoot of the main series.

Although no further details have been released, thus far, we have a single screenshot and logo which show a significant resemblance to Minecraft.

The screenshot shows a lovely mix of the Akira Toriyama designs and the block based style of Minecraft. As the title suggests the game will likely revolve around building.

The game appears to be a Sony exclusive as only the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita logos have appeared on the site.

Square Enix’s E3 was very eventful, with the announcement of Just Cause 3 coming to next gen systems on December 1st. On top of that there was a huge announcements of Kingdom Hearts 3 and the remake of Final Fantasy VII.
